Beauty Shots - Introducing Cee Cee x

in

Welcome to rhe studio this month, all the way from Kettering, lovely new model Cee Ceex. Cee Cee came to me through a bombardment of messages and likes on Purpleport and Instagram and I thought I would give her a go. I am a strong believe that beauty comes in all shapes and sizes, colours and sexes and Cee Cee is a lovely plus sized model. She brought her Mum with her and did a great job. Looking forward to seeing her again. i So thanks here to Cee Cee, her Mum and to Karen Hegarty Mua for hair and makeup.

The Jinn Shoot featuring Christine Cain

in

Kicking off this septembers model galleries we welcome Chinese beauty, all the way from San Francisco, Miss Christine Cain. She is playing the part of a Genie or Jinn as they are known in Islamic Myth. Jinn are not the happy nice characters of Disney film, rather a malevolent being of true nastiness. Thankfully Christine Cain is everything but the character here. So thank you to her and brilliant makeup artist Karen Hegarty MUA. A special mention to second model Tyler Dyce and studio owner Lee Henshaw.

The Jinn Shoot featuring Tyler Dyce

in

So as I have said before a Jinn is something from Islamic myth which we would call a Genie. So here is mine and the makeup artists take Karen Hegarty MUA, on the subject using the ever lovely Tyler Dyce as blank canvas. It cost a bit to pull this shoot off, but I think it was worth it. Thanks to Tyler Dyce, Karen Hegarty MUA and second model Christine Cain. Special mention also to studio owner Lee Henshaw for his pad.

To amazing hair and makeup by Karen Hegarty MUA and assistants from Mum, Irena Orme. For the tech heads out there the blurred images were created using a Lensbaby Sweet 80 Lens - Deliberatly !!!

Tyler Dyce & Nicolie Campbell Photo Shoot, August 2019.

in

Strickly speaking this should have been in last months shoot galleries, but as it was done last minute I could not edit it in time. So here they are together. Tyler asked me if she could have a photo shoot with a hansome man … more a handsome black man? Well who better than Boxer / Athlete Nicolie Campbell. Thanks to both of them for this shoot. Special shout out to studio owner Lee Henshaw for getting the studio at the eleventh hour.

Tyler Dyce & Ed6 Once Upon A Time In The West photo shoot, July 2019

in

Of all the days in July to pick a shoot on location, I managed to pick the most rain soaked I could find.

Still that said it all went very well, with the rain holding off for just long enough. And in this shoot we have alongside the ever lovely Tyler Dyce, a new model to me. Filipino model Ed6. Ed was great in front of the camera and I managed to get some very nice images of the models. So a big round of applause to models Tyler Dyce and Ed6. To makeup artist Karen Hegarty MUA and to assistants Stef Edwards and Amy. A special mention to our friend Lorraine at The Pit Micropub, Newstead Village, Notts for her hospitality, rooms and great beer. Her micropub was used at the Christmas last 1970’s themed shoot, and just over the road from the nature reserve location. Check out her pub The Pit Micropub

My fellow photographe, assistant and best friend, Tyler Dyce on her frequent nights out in town came across a lovely potential model and a club toilet – as you do ! Anyway, she got her to call me up after getting through to me via Instagram. And I am glad she did, as welcome Eniola Shittu. She is a lovely woman with a strong look and was great in front of the camera. She soon took to it and here are the results. So thanks to Eniola Shittu and Tyler Dyce. xx

Monalisa Moyo & Tyler Dyce - Elizabethan Shoot - May 2019

in

I have been wanting to do this for so long. An Elizabethian Shoot. If you google ‘Elizabethan portraits’ lots of pictures come up and, not surprisingly they are all featuring white men and women. So I wanted to do something a little different, and photographed the two stars Monalisa Moyo and Tyler Dyce. The photography was ‘Rembrandt style’ lighting with one fresnel and the costumes were provided by the amazing Complete Costumes, of Kidderminster, Worcs (seriously check them out !). Thanks then to the two models for the work and to makeup artist Karen Hegarty MUA for all her hard work and Lee Henshaw for his studio hire. Yet one more off the bucket list of shoots and things to do before I die !!!

Zhane Harrison First Shoot, May 2019

in

I put a post up on a modelling website a few weeks back and got some interesting people respond to my post .Barring in mind I asked for models without tattoo’s - So why then did I get a ton load of models covered in the bloody things ? Obviously both reading and understanding are an alien concept for some people? Anyway, out of much of the chaff came this great model and I thought I would give her a chance. She as reasonably new to modelling but shows such promise. So I asked her along to the Tyler Dyce / Monalisa Moyo shoot to try her out in front of the camera. She did not let me down - and here are the results. There is also a big debt of thanks here to the amazing hair and make-up by Karen Hegarty MUA. for all her brilliant work on the day. So It is fair to say I am so pleased with these shoot results and hope to work with this amazing model again soon. …. Welcome to the team Zhane Harrison.
